Standard Jazz Bass® Left Handed (Upgrade)
0136220
On its early ’60s introduction, the Fender Jazz Bass guitar immediately endeared itself to the music world, quickly becoming another Fender design classic and an indispensable element in the arsenal of many a bassist worldwide.
Our lean-and-mean left-handed Standard Jazz Bass incorporates many of the original model’s classic Fender “firsts,” such as the offset waist and ultra-slim fast-action neck. It’s updated here with two bi-pole pickups and American Jazz Bass knobs, giving you the best of both worlds and eras—some vintage vibe and appointments with some modern refinements.

If you are worried about the quality of the Mexican made jazz, don't be. Overall it seems to be well made. At least as good as some of the 70s and 80s jazz basses i've used in over 30 years of playing. The sound is deep but very clean and bright. Not active but very adjustable with great tone. Neck seems straight and very playable. Tuning pegs work well and the guitar stays in tune. I have not checked out the pots yet but fit and finish look very good. As for reliability only time will tell but everything is OK as of now. For the price I don't think you can do much better. Also, MusiciansBuy has been a great company to do business with. Good Luck To All! RRH
